I've been using Parse for a month or so and I've been really impressed by how powerful the platform is, and the rate at which they are adding features and libraries. I also have to say they have some great customer service and take bug reports and feature requests seriously and professionally. I have yet to deploy with them, so I can't speak about performance or scalability, but if anyone is interested I could document my journey. Kudos to the Parse team!

I'm impressed that your account is a whole 5 minutes older than your post. I'd be even more impressed if Parse was open source instead of yet another walled-garden PaaS hyped by shills.

I've been following Parse for a while now, and I agree with technogarden. Their platform is impressive, and they're adding useful new features at a rapid rate.

It would definitely be cool if they open-sourced the platform, but, in the meantime, you might be interested in this project:

Personally, though, I don't mind paying for a service like Parse. If someone is willing to not only build the features I need but also to wear a pager and get up at 3am just to keep my users happy, I'm more than happy to give them some of my money.

I love using Parse. We are integrating them into two apps we are currently building, Reminders With Friends[1] and Hiiire[2]. If anyone has any questions about my experience feel free to contact me.

Same here, happy to give money to make a pain point go away so I can focus on the product itself.

My only wish was that I could place an easy API layer between Parse and my app, because I would want more fine grained control over how data is mutated (even with ACLs, someone with write permission could mutate data and corrupt it if desired).

There's a REST API, but I don't think I would want to use that as much.

Not only is your comment incredibly rude to some really nice folks, but it's also wrong.

Here's some data I exported from one of my Parse accounts: https://gist.github.com/2475461.
